Mr Mundine has labelled the Labor leader’s claims a “load of garbage”.

He tells Chris first Bill Shorten must “acknowledge the pain and suffering that is happening”.

“You can’t resolve something until you actually acknowledge you got a problem.”

Mr Shorten also hit out at “know-it-all whitefellas” and their “paternalistic” approach to tackling indigenous child protection as he promised to hold a summit within the first 100 days of a Labor government to overcome the issue.
